Seven time LPGA tour winner, Minjee Lee (AUS) carded a three-under 69 under the floodlights at Emirates Golf Club to finish on -10 under alongside Solheim Cup star Celine Boutier (FRA), who had led for most of the day until a late bogey saw her post a final-round 68.
Minjee Lee sealed victory with a clutch birdie putt from 20ft at the first extra hole in a thrilling shoot-out against Boutier in the Dubai moonlight.
After her win, Minjee Lee said:
"I couldn't really see the break too well on the last hole, but I thought it would be about two cups outside the right and luckily I hit it hard enough and it dropped. It feels pretty special to be here playing at night-time and the course has been amazing. It's been a really fun week."
Overnight leader, Caroline Hedwall (SWE) finished one shot behind the leaders, tied for 3rd on -9 with Laura Fuenfstueck (GER) and defending champion Nuria Iturrioz (ESP).
Two Scots earned themselves top ten spots after finishing with strong final rounds. Kelsey MacDonald (SCO) finished tied for 8th on -7 after closing with a four-under round of 68, while Kylie Henry (SCO) jumped into a tie for 10th on -6 after firing nine birdies and no bogeys in a course-record 63.
